What the Heck is '500 Best-Value Wines in the LCBO 09' ? I was left scratching my head what the heck 500 Best-Value Wines in the LCBO 2009 meant.
OK, it is a book by a fellow named by Rod Phillips, a New Zealander at that who offers the best value that the Liquor Control Board of Ontario has in stock.

leconcierge, I think your story has potential but needs some improvement. I've got a few suggestions, and if you give them a try, I'd be happy to remove this flag. This story is very close to the spam line. There is very little news/commentary and the links go directly to a "book review" that sells the book. Please make changes to your article or it will have to be removed as spam.
Thanks!

I got it for Xmas. With over 500 wines in the list it is a bit over the top as that covers a large portion of the wines available I think. He really should have selected just 100 to guide consumers. To help chose it is not really helpful to give a list of 500. So I narrowed it down to the highest and lowest ratings he gives and will try some. Almost all the ratings talk about fruit smells which are not so useful .

First of all, you begin your item with I, but nowhere do I see who I is. Secondly you have taken no time to find out or explain who Rob Phillips is, except that he is originally from New Zealand. this being your only reference it makes it sound like he just stepped off the plane and has no credential to publish a book in Ontario. Well he also happens a long time resident of Ontario, and wine critic for the Ottawa Citizen. He tastes thousands of wine a year and has presented the top 500 he thinks offer the best quality for the lowest cost - thus value. You may not care about or understand this effort, but if you are going to publish comments on it at least make the effort to understand what you are talking about, and don't be a coward standing behind anonymity.
